  rsh is an inherently unsecure protocol.  Don't use it.  Don't use
  the excuse that this is on a local corporate network only.  You
  have no idea who's sniffing on your network.  Better use a secure
  protocol instead, like ssh.  All services provided by the OBSOLETE
  rsh/rlogin/telnet interfaces are provided in a much more secure
  way by ssh.
